“Curosurf and Survanta were dose-dependently inhibited by fibrinogen > haemoglobin > albumin , with far-reaching loss of surface activity at protein-surfactant ratios above 1:1.”

“In the presence of albumin , the surface tension of Survanta was markedly higher.”
“These results indicate that at lipid concentrations of 0.1 mg/mL and less, the surface activity of the bovine purified lung surfactant Survanta is more sensitive to the presence of albumin than is the synthetic preparation Exosurf.”
The American journal of the medical sciences • 1994 | View Paper
“Chitosan and polyethylene glycol (PEG), two polymers that traditionally have been used to aggregate colloids, both allow Survanta to quantitatively displace albumin from the interface, but through two distinct mechanisms.”
